Great Post!!

[quote name="PA4Life" post="1164120" timestamp="1327210432"] Well after doing a little research and it wasnt hard to find out the information I was looking for.  I got a reason out of a board member from a surrounding city of PA.  I was informed that they voted not to keep PA in the league because they thought that PA would stack their teams for next year, so they voted them out.  Mind you, onl 1 team was actually accused of stacking.  PA also informed the league that they would be expanding their teams like the other Associations I.E ( PA Lil Titans- Black, PA Lil Titans Red, PA Lil Titans - Grey) , because they had gotten a lot more interest from more kids to play next year.  PA was going to keep the teams they already had and just add more teams to the league in every division.  Now I think if you are a league and a city is lookinmg to expand, that would be a good problem, not a bad one. The person I got this information from seem to be kind of mad and one of the people who voted against PA, because their organization didnt beat PA.  It also seems that it is more about winning in STJFL instead of about teaching and playing the best.  So like I said in an earlier post.  It was all about Talent. I[u]t happened a few years ago when Nederland (Well Nederland did stay for a whie and split up), Port Neches,Groves,  LCM, Deweyville, Vidor, Lumberton, Bridge City and all the rest of these teams dropped out of Pop Warner to for mtheir own league.  I was just starting out coaching then.  They all left because of 2 teams in the league the PA Cowboys and the PA Jr, Bees.  Both teams would whip all these teams every weekend.  So instead of teaching their kids to play against the best, they dropped out and formed STJFL. NOW THIS. [/u] [/quote] Well, I was going to stay out of this and away from this thread until I read this comment.  You see, I was the founding president of the STJFL.  I was the president for the first five years that it existed.  The reasons we left Pop Warner had nothing to do with what you say.  Back in those days, things got way out of hand in Pop Warner.  It was all about the adults.  You couldn't even go to a Pop Warner meeting without all kind of screaming and hollering breaking out.  Delegates from different towns would be arguing and cursing each other.  This spilled over onto the field on Saturday mornings, and the last couple of years that we were there, police had to be called to Pop Warner games several times.  We simply just did not want to be therer any more.  Instead of trying to kick someone out, we went away and started our own league, but I can promise you it had nothing to do with winning or losing.  This just goes to show what type of mentality you have. I have not been involved in Pop Warner or STJFL for the last several years.  I do not know the reason you guys were kicked out, and it is not any of my business, but please in the future, know what you are talking about before posting on here.  Good luck to you in your upcoming season.

[quote name="FootBFan" post="1124591" timestamp="1321744663"] First let me clarify.. I dont have a kid that plays . And second :You expect LoneStar to list everything that will forfeit the game."  Well, why not the STJFL does.  In any sport you have penaltys for not follwing the rule. They are not made up as you go. [b]You jump offside or illegal motion on the offense. Their is a 10yrd penalty.[/b] The rule is already set. So yes, they should state. If the rule is broken it will be a forfeit. What the rule states is The head coach will go before the board for discipline NOT the team forfeit a game. So they enforce a rule but not abide by the others.  Get real.  I guess you all like cheating when its beneficial to you.  For some reason i dont think you all are getting the point. The kids were in the game. At the beginnig of the fourth there were a number of kids on both sides that didnt get their plays. Its just amazing all the other teams did. and one needed the whole eight but only 6 plays played in the fourth. Go figure. And its not about the MPRs its following the rules set in place to give discipline to the game. Evidently you all dont know the leagues rules. [/quote] HAHAHAHAHA.... so whose rules are you quoting this from?  In every league that I know of, jumping off sides or illegal motion is a five yard penalty.  Too funny. PS [b]Play your kids!!![/b]

[quote name="FootBFan" post="1122267" timestamp="1321659880"] the kids were in the game at the beginnig of the fourth like the rules say. Other teams MPR rep that was on silvers sideline told the coach the other team had players that needed plays. Now when he found out with over two miniutes left in the fourth he stayed in the huddle. You are down by two touchdowns and you stay in the huddle to get delay of game penalty to run out the clock.  Because of this the little boys didnt get the two plays needed because only six plays played in the entire fourth quarter. With that being said. The other team lined up on the side line with time left on the clock as if the game was over. They were protesting before the game ever ended.  Mine you its leagal; but the league handed the silver a forfeit.  Thats NOT a rule in the bylaws. So not upset they upheld a rule, upset that they didnt uphold all rules. You have to play fair. Right?  If a game is a forfeit due to breaking the MPR rule then by all means state it in the rules.  The penalty for breaking the rule says the head coach goes before the board not the team has to forfeit.  Just saying it was fair to the kids that played their lil butts off. And they couldnt go to the superbowl. STJFL rules state the game will be a forfeit and that you cant end a game the way the opposing coach did. I think Lonestar either need to Abide by their own rules are revise them. [/quote] Give me a break.  All of the kids were not in the game at the start of the 4th quarter.  Three of the five that needed plays were.  The other two went in later.  And there were more than six plays in the fourth quarter.  I guess you think we all just fell off the turnip truck.  And wasnt the entire silsbee silver flag coaching staff already on probation? And what about the poor kids that didn't get all their plays?  None of you even seem concerned in the least about those poor little guys. Moral of the story, [b]play your kids.[/b]

The UIL passed a similar rule back in 2002 called "Wills Bill" named after a player who died after sustaining a head injury playing football. It requires any player that becomes unconscious due to an injury to get written medical clearance before returing.
